David Fifita Speaks Up : Sat Apr 13, 2019 10:49 am  

https://www.wigantoday.net/sport/rugby- ... -1-9710230 Fifita and Chris Chester not happy with third tackler coming in low. I think I've seen enough of this and I'm please someone has been brave enough to speak out. Arguments about which way legs bend etc. should be totally ignored. Dangerous tackles when a player is held up and the third man picks his spot and hits hard are easy to pick out. Come on Disciplinary/RFL/SuperLeague sort it out.

Thought this had been addressed already about two off-seasons ago? Didn’t Thomas Leulai get binned for it in last year’s cup game?

We did it a couple of times, last night.
I thought we were better than that

Dangerous tackle ... Penalty (at least).
We'd get rid of it at once. The "Fifita" tackle looks very dangerous.

Poor state of affairs if coaches tolerate or even condone dirty & dangerous tactics to try & win games.

We’ve all known it for years but fantastic that a current player playing the game has spoken up. Lets listen to him and I hope the RFL listen. It’s Wigan however !!

Fair play to Fifta. A credible statement.

RFL & SL allowing its Brand to weaken., Glad to read your common sense & good for the game, please read this on VT forum ? Concerned true RL supporter, by the way i would not defend a WAKEY player doing any of this !

It needs stamping out, should be a straight red and maximum length ban.

In cases as clear as this one, I agree.

I must admit I find it particularly upsetting when I see people saying, 'It's ok, his knee bends that way so my team should be allowed to tw@ it as hard as possible when the standing please is in no position to get out of the way of it.'

Horrible stuff from Wigan and I fully expect Fifita to get a ban.
